Anyone managed to score from outside the box yet? I have turned the passing and shooting to BASIC but while shooting from long range, the ball is very weak and the goalkeeper manages to catch it very easily..

Is there anything else that i need to change in the setting? or is this another Konami thing that they have to work on?

I did google PES 2014 shooting from long range .. i found 2 videos only ..

I haven't found the shots to be weak but more that it is very hard to guide them into the corners of the net, even when in the box. They mostly either go too close to the keeper and he saves it, go wide, or sometimes hit the post. In saying that, I'm using Arsenal in the league but they have good finishing stats. Anybody else finding much problems with hitting the corners of the net with basic controls?

i have a few times with my BAL player. he's pretty weak too since i'm only in my second season. pretty much what i do is hit square (ps3) until the bar is almost full while pushing towards the general direction of the goal on the left stick. don't know if that actually has anything to do with it since i haven't played the training, but it seems to work for me

Yup. A hard-shooter, good form (red arrow) and a little bit of luck is what you need. Just like in real life.

If you are Ronaldo, running with the ball and put about a third of the power up, you are putting that bad boy in... Also helps if the player is specialist in long range shots... but they have nerfed it and made it a lot more realistic in that sense, no more Obefemi Martins with accuracy 75 putting it into the top corner left right and center

Really struggling with long shots and finishing in general. Seems like if you hit the ball too well the keeper will save it, but hit it close to him, weakly, and he'll fumble it in. Conclusion; keepers are pretty bad and shooting needs some work.

In PES 2014 shots from outside the box are more realistic than 2013, in which most players can score missiles.

I totally disagree ... I tried shooting from long range with Lampard, C.Ronaldo and others but it seems the ball reaches very easily in the goalkeepers hand using the BASIC shooting in the personal options .. ADVANCED shooting, oh well, this needs lots of training to get the shooting spot on ...

There is a problem in the shots for sure and Konami have to work on that ..

Lets face it guys, If anyone of you here says they scored outside the box and it is easy to do so, then show me some links and videos, i'm looking forward to see it ... You can barely see those goals in youtube or whatever search engine you are gonna use ..

In 2013, i had a 40 yard shot from Steven Gerrard and it went in .. you can't do that in 2014 even if you get the player balance right ..

I'm sorry but anyone who thinks scoring outside of the box on this game is doable is talking absolute rubbish. My friend and I are seasoned footy gamers and have yet to score a single long range effort. As an experiment, we put 2 of our worst outfield players in goal, I hit a powerful shot with Messi right in the top corner and a 67 rated outfield player plucked it out of the top corner. We tried again and again and this happened repeatedly. This is just absolutely ridiculous.

It's ruined what feels like a good game. This just makes it unplayable unfortunately... A complete waste of Ł40.
